Jordan put his foot down about driving to Malibu. He said something about wanting to keep his thumbs. I had never worked with such a coward, but fearing death was common…or so I had heard. I had no fears, except for the fear of letting my country down. So, when Jordan refused to drive us in his Dodge Geo to the drug lord’s fortress, I hogtied him with his lanyard, stuffed him into the back seat, and took the helm.
It was a beautiful evening in the City of Angels. Little did the citizens of Los Angeles know that there was evil in their midst. An evil that would stop at nothing to destroy civilization as we knew it. Luckily for them, Harriet Hard was on the case and would stop at nothing at stopping the evil from stopping at nothing.
I zipped around the traffic, using every ounce of my training in tactical driving. Time was of the essence when fighting a cartel of chaos commandos.
“I think the lanyard is cutting off the circulation in my legs,” Jordan complained from the backseat.
“Don’t worry. It won’t permanently destroy your blood flow for another twenty-two minutes, and we’ll get to Dominguez’s house in no more than nineteen minutes.”
Jordan whimpered. “I’m not sure I’m ready for my destiny. I’m an accountant.”
I guffawed. “I think we both know that you’re not an accountant, Jordan.”
“I’m not?”
“Nope. At worst, you’re a chef. At best, you’re my new sidekick.”
“I’m afraid to ask you what happened to your old sidekick.”
I turned the lights off as we approached the compound. I parked away from the surveillance and opened the back seat. “I’m going to untie you, now,” I told Jordan. “I don’t want you to run or scream. Your country needs you tonight, Jordan. Do you understand me?”
“I think so?” he said like a question.
I began to untie him. “We’re going inside, and I’m going to interrogate Bruno Dominguez and force him to tell us where Hugo Rockchenko is before he kills us. Got it?”
Jordan was sweating, again. “What if Dominguez kills us?”
I ruffled Jordan’s hair. “Funny one. A punk like Dominguez isn’t going to get the drop on Harriet Hard.”
“How are we going to get in? Do you have a rocket launcher or something?”
I gave Jordan my hand and helped him out of the car. “We’re going to walk in through the front door. They won’t notice us.”
“Can you make us invisible? You’re practically naked, and I’m wearing a shirt that’s six sizes too small for me. I think we’re pretty conspicuous.”
“Not tonight we aren’t. I put an ad on Craigslist with this address on it, and the compound is about to get invaded by about three hundred people, give or take fifty people.”
“An ad? What did you offer? Free cocaine?”
I nodded, thrilled that Jordan was starting to catch on. “Yep. Free cocaine and a free orgy. And I put ORGY in all caps. Come on, it’s starting to get busy. See the crowd?”
We looked the part. I adjusted my breasts in my red bra and added more of a swing in my hips.
